Abstract

A versatile synthetic route in inositol chemistry will be developed in Cambridge to make available a range of all the natural and enantiomeric phosphoinositides and some analogues. The materials will be designed to provide important answers in the biological pathways involving phosphoinositides. The new materials will be evaluated in a collaborative programme with the intracellular signalling group led by Dr L R Stephens at Babraham. In particular the function of these materials will be explored under the following headings : (a) Caged PtdIns[3,4,5]P3; (b) Immobilised PTdIns[3,4,5]P3; (c) 5-Phosphothionate analogues; (d) Tritiated derivatives; (e) Photoaffinity reagents.
